AIR Runners Has it already been a year since the last time we gathered for the Evergreen Cemetery Pumpkin Run? The event offers 10 mile and 5K distances so there was something for everyone depending on your mood and/or condition.

Gathered at AIR's Post-Race Hospitality Center were: Standing from left, Brooke Springer, Randy Arend, Gayla Poythress, Bill Pennington, Kevin Ott, Norm and Frieda Wyner, Gary Haslip; seated, from right, Frank Frazier, Keith Poythress and Frank's neighbor Kort Braeutigam. The 10-mile Pumpkin was Kort's first race.
